Looking for Lionel

Whenever, we want to see how a pre-war Lionel car exactly looked, web search engines offer often little help. For instance, type in "Lionel 1664" in Google and wait what comes. Usually, the vast majority of the links shown are auction sites (Ebay etc.) with often outdated offerings which can not be retrieved and observed anymore. Followed by a few Frenchmen, Quebecois and a singer named Ritchie. This is rather annoying. Simultaneously, there are much useful websites of train enthusiasts, professionals which offer sharp pictures of Lionel train objects, however, these are not easily found with conventional search engines. Moreover, these sites are usually far from complete, but combining them would improve their coverage. Hence, I thought that it would be a good idea to start with list of links to those "hidden" sites on the web which offer precise pictures and to let it grow organical and indexed on the Lionel number.

Here are the first links:
TG for much useful information of Terry Gibbs

SW for 804, 805, 806, 807, 831, 2653, 902, 1682

GTE for the great Glancy train exhibition that includes: 400E, 400T, 607, 608, 656, 2817, 3814

221
224
262
1666
1688E
